9.6.1 Invoking 'psset'
----------------------

     psset [OPTIONS] [FILE]

produce a version of the PostScript FILE (or of the standard input if no
FILE is given, or if FILE is '-') that makes protected calls to the
PostScript operator 'setpagedevice'.  Typical use is making FILE print
duplex, or on the manual tray etc.

   The call is protected so that the resulting file is safe, i.e., will
still be portable, even with requests such as '-Sfoo:bar'.

   It is safe to run 'psset' with no feature requests.  Depending upon
the option '--no-fix', it is either equivalent to doing nothing, or to
running 'fixps' (Note: fixps).

   Supported options are:

 -- Option: -h
 -- Option: --help
     Print a short help message and exit successfully.

 -- Option: -V
 -- Option: --version
     report the version and exit successfully.

 -- Option: -D
 -- Option: --debug
     enter in debug mode.

 -- Option: -q
 -- Option: --quiet
 -- Option: --silent
     Run silently.

 -- Option: -o FILE
 -- Option: --output=FILE
     specify the FILE in which is saved the output.

 -- Option: -n
 -- Option: --no-fix
     'psset' will fail on ill designed PostScript.  Actually it is the
     psutils that fail.  To avoid this, by default the PostScript file
     is sanitized by 'fixps'.

     When given this option, don't run 'fixps'.  This is meant to be
     used when 'fixps' has already been used higher in the processing
     chain.

 -- Option: -S KEY:VALUE
 -- Option: --setpagedevice=KEY:VALUE
     Insert a 'setpagedevice' call setting KEY to VALUE.  Multiple
     values accumulate.  Lists of requests separated with ';' are valid
     (e.g., '-SDuplex:true;Tumble:false').

 -- Option: -a PAGE
 -- Option: --at=PAGE
     Specify the page where the 'setpagedevice' call should be done.
     The PAGE 0, which is the default, corresponds to the 'Setup'
     section of the document.  More precisely, the insertion is
     performed at the end of the 'Setup' section, so that if there are
     multiple calls to 'psset' on the same document (which is of course,
     a bad idea), the last call is winning.

     In a typical use you should not change the PAGE.

 -- Option: -m
 -- Option: --manualfeed
     Alias for '-SManualFeed:true', i.e., the request to print using the
     manual feed tray.

 -- Option: -s
 -- Option: --simplex
     Alias for '-SDuplex:false', i.e., force simplex printing.

 -- Option: -d
 -- Option: --duplex
     Alias for '-SDuplex:true;Tumble:false', i.e., the request to print
     in duplex mode, binding along the long edge of the paper.

 -- Option: -t
 -- Option: --tumble
     Alias for '-SDuplex:true;Tumble:true', i.e., duplex printing such
     that binding should happen on the short edge of the medium.
